Objectives:
ØTemperature regulating centers.
ØReceptors.
ØTemperature decreasing mechanisms activated by
heat.
ØTemperature increasing mechanisms activated by
cold.
ØFever (Pyrexia).
Temperature regulating centers
(thermostatic function of the hypothalamus)
1.Cutaneous vasodilatation:
Cutaneous vasodilatation increase the rate of heat
transfer to the skin.
Temperature decreasing mechanisms
activated by heat.
In crease heat loss:
2.Sweating:
Through the sympathetic cholinergic fibers to the sweat
glands to increase their secrtion.
1.Cutaneous vasoconstriction:
This decreases the rate of heat transfer to the skin.
2.Behavioral responses:
To put on heavy clothes.
Fever (Pyrexia)
Fever (Pyrexia)
Thermostatic center it will be specific set point in 37ºC
and what’s going on fever it’s changing set point it
reaches 41ºC.
Consequently, all temperature mechanisms it raises the
temperature to 41ºC because set point changed to
41ºC.
